Hiroshima Armchair: Designed by Naoto Fukasawa, manufactured by Maruni
“It’s really a chair that you have to see and sit in," says co-founder Simon Alderson. "It’s beautifully detailed and destined to become a classic, since it’s rare to find craftsmanship with such quality and detailing. Maruni, a big Japanese furniture maker, has really only focused on this kind of contemporary piece over the last four or five years.”
Rainbow Armchair (2017) Sawkille Jonah Meyer, Founder “We have a parts system where we’re always handmaking the individual elements of the chairs, so we can be ahead of the game when orders come in. From steam-bending, turning, fashioning the seat, assembly, sanding, and finishing, it will cross at least five people’s hands and can take a week.”
